This is a known issue and is documented in the std.parallelism module:

  http://dlang.org/phobos/std_parallelism.html#.Task

"BUGS: Changes to ref and out arguments are not propagated to the
call site, only to args in this struct."

You can pass a pointer:

void myFunc(long *countvar)
{
    *countvar = 500;
    writeln( " value of countvar is  ", *countvar);
}

// ...

    tasks[0] = task!myFunc(&count1);
